Well let's start with this:

1. Going the Solo Direction when them as a duo was starting to build a dedicated fanbase for their music. Me personally, I don't subscribe to the idea that they were not getting attention towards their music. Cause if you had seen how much they sold from their first album "The Kids Are Alright" to Ungodly Hour, They went from sitting at number 139 on BB 200 to number 16 with 24k first week. Not the best, but it showed that people were starting to check out their music and invest in them as artists. Plus Do It was their first single to finally hit the Hot 100 charts at number 63.
So they were going at organic pace with their direction as a duo. Mind you, they had visuals, ideas, plans for the rollout, and a themes done before hand at the end of 2019. And it resulted in good commercial success.

With this new solo direction that Chloe's going with. It's completely obvious that her team had no ideas going forward after Have Mercy. Because her and Parkwood are trying any idea to make her blow up with these blatant PR stunts. Like her and Gunna trying to start a Bey and Jay moment with "U & Me" when DS4 dropped but nobody gave a s*** about that track or them as a potential couple, even hip hop blogs point it out that it was ploy for her second single. They did that in the meantime until her second single rollout started and that s*** flopped. Or we can talk about the Lollipop video, or we can talk about the toilet picture. Or the fact that the Treat Me video looks like a budget softcore music video. OR THE FACT THAT CHLOE HAD TO GET ON IG LIVE TO ASK HER FANS WHAT SHOULD BE HER NEXT SINGLE?!?!?! LIKE NIGGA WHAT?!?!?!?!

It's clear that Chloe, Parkwood, and Columbia decided to jump the shark into this direction after the success of the Buss It Challenge and Have Mercy thinking it will get her to have mainstream success, but no it's backfiring because it's f***in impossible for an artist like her to have that success yet, especially when her and her sister still have a very low fanbase that supports their music. If they wanted her to go solo meanwhile Halle was still on film set for The Little Mermaid, THEY SHOULD'VE DONE A F***IN EP SO THEN IT WOULD'VE ALLOWED FANS TO SEE ARE INTERESTED IN CHLÖE'S SOLO MUSIC!!!!!!!!!! IF NOT, MOVE ON TO CXH3!!! Like bro, Billie Ellish put out a EP first before trying to do an album like what??!?!?!? BUT NO, THESE F***IN LABELS ARE SO DAMN BUSY TRYING TO HAVE A HUGE SOLO DEBUT THAT THEY CAN BANK FROM CHLOE

Everything about this was premature that it's f***in hilarious.

2. The singles and timing of the singles.

Honestly, I didn't like Have Mercy that much, but I thought it was a decent first single to start off, but then they should've came back with a single that everybody would've loved, something that would've been interesting and relatable, but still catchy for mainstream listeners, that should've been the song that Chloe previewing now "For the Night". But instead we got a poorly mixed and messy ass bounce song in Treat Me. Then released a song like Surprise, which is a good R&B song, but tbh that should've came out back in Valentines Day instead of that boring ass "U & Me" track. And why the f*** Treat Me came 7-8 months after Have Mercy. If they actually had a strategic plan, they would've had Have Mercy come out like it did first, but then a song that connects with everybody and that is interesting in January, then Surprise on Valentines Day, then lastly a summer single like Treat Me in April/May.

Like bro, it's clear that she wanted to have this album out this year and so far it's failing and its shaping up to be not to be released this year unless something changed.

And mind you I haven't even talked about her image yet. They'll be more in the essay.

But at the end of the day, my opinions probably won't matter (especially when I'm not as successful as her), because this is what she wants and we just have to sit back and see if things actually start shaping up.

So maybe her and her team not making mistakes, but they damn sure making some stupid ass decisions.

Imo Chloe doesn't even need "good music", she needs CROSSOVER HITS

And no one will care about any of this lol

This is where her label is failing as well
They need to set her up with producers writers to craft HITS

Even Beyonce used to be criticized for forcing the sexual image
Other singers like madonna, rihanna as well
No one cares now

What clout tho? IG likes?

I'm taking a Disney film over anything Chloe's been doing the past year. Some of those live action remakes make a $1B+. It's a musical too so she'll be credited all over the soundtrack. You can't ask for much more at 22

She's the sister with the more obvious solo route rn

If the movie is good and hits with the audience sure, otherwise it would just be another Disney remake in a sea of mid

Cinderella seemed like a good career move for the singer Cabello but it got panned hard and was dead on arrival (all theatrical releases cancelled , straight to streaming)

Beauty and the beast (2017) grossed a billion dollars with mixed reviews especially for the leads (Emma Watson) acting and singing and Emma s still considered a mediocre actress coasting off of Harry Potter Fame

The lead for Aladin (grossed over a billion as well) said he has trouble finding work as an actor... I don't even remember his name 💀

Lion king probably grossed over a billion and got panned as well

Those Disney movie's making money (even a billion dollars) doesn't mean much nowadays, it's crazy out here

Just realized soundtrack being done by Lin Manuel Miranda...Dude just took Encanto to #1 on BB200 and Hot 100 last year. Forget the film, this might also be her major music moment if things go okay

No wonder they ran to launch Chloe. All the work is being done for Halle already. She'll basically have new music out as well with original songs done by a known hitmaker

I think people in 2022 vastly underestimate how hard it is to get someone's music career off the ground.

One day, label heads will understand that twitter engagement and going viral because you look good does not mean people want to listen to your songs.

This is true, but at the same time, this is Beyoncé's record label. Most of the people on her team had been with her since the beginning, so how the f*** they're not being strategic with Chlöe's direction and music.

I mean,

I'm not going to sit here and say I know more than they do, but I have done some intern stuff before.

it's truly wild how little labels know when it comes to getting an artist's music buzzing. They look at social media metrics and engagement and correlate that to sales and that really doesn't work, especially with hot girls.

No one really cares about Chloe's music and that to me is the issue and the label would move differently if they realized that but instead they take her going viral for her looks as "fans" wanting to hear her music.
